The most difficult to repay the debt of affection, the most difficult to absorb is the grace of beauty.

Liu Yuan only rode dozens of horses, he dared to go straight to Tubo, and once again made miraculous feats, which sounded extremely heroic, but in fact it could be described as frightening step by step.

As soon as they left, they were several months, and there was no news, Cui Mengyao and they were frightened every day, and they also had to endure the monitoring and protection of the Praetorian Guards, and they were physically and mentally damaged. That's okay.

Liu Yuan also knew that Cui Mengyao, Xiao Niang, and Du Sanniang were not easy, so he was patient to coax them to be happy and make them happy, of course, I haven't seen them for so long, and the "homework" can't be missing, so that a few big beauties can stay alone in the empty room, empty and beautiful, this is originally a mistake, in order to express his apology and reward the general knowledge of all women, Liu Yuan naturally worked very hard, trying to satisfy a few beauties, with Liu Yuan's efforts, it took a long half of the night, and finally coaxed several women into obedience, with a smile.

I have to say that with the nourishment of love, Cui Mengyao and the others are becoming more and more gorgeous, their hearts are also satisfied, and their temperament has become tame and cute, Liu Yuan can't help but sigh at the artistic conception of the ancestors to make sentences, the old saying goes: bedside fights and bed-end and, vulgarly speaking, can be changed to "a shot of enmity", intercourse, is indeed a very effective lubricant in life.

Night. In addition to Liu's Mansion, Chang'an City also has many mansions, and the red candle has not been blown out in the middle of the night, such as Houfu, Chengfu, Duanfu, etc

Early the next morning, Cui Mengyao got up early to take care of it, and the three daughters didn't need a ring, they personally served Liu Yuan to wash and wash, put on a mighty official uniform, serve meals, arrange carriages, etc., and tossed until midnight last night. But Cui Mengyao, Xiao Niang and Du Sanniang, they were more energetic than the other, and they were busy with smiling faces like flowers, and that situation made Liu Yuan imagine that "spring flowers are blooming." A hundred flowers compete for research".

The reason is very simple, today is the day when Liu Yuan went to court. With Liu Yuan's credit. It's okay to be promoted to the rank of official, seeing that her husband is so good, that daughter's family doesn't like it? The wife is dependent on the husband, the mother is expensive by the son, this is the immutable law, if Liu Yuan is promoted, the status of the women will naturally rise. There will be more face then.

The only thing missing is Hu Xin, who returned from Tibet.

Liu Yuan nodded while eating, and asked curiously, "What about Hu Xin and Xiaoxue?" ”

"It's too early, the fourth sister is running all the way, I'm afraid I'm tired. Just let her have a good rest, the child will grow up when she sleeps well, so she won't wake her up, and the concubine will make a good opinion, so that Yahuan will not disturb their mother and daughter sleeping. Cui Mengyao smiled = said.

"Well, that's fine, in fact, you're also tired, sleep a little longer, our Liu Mansion doesn't have so many rules, how to be comfortable." Liu Yuan replied casually while eating.

When a person goes to the court, the whole family tosses, it's not so exaggerated, this is also the reason why Liu Yuan doesn't like to go to the court, like when Cui Mengyao didn't pass the door, Liu Yuan went to the front, and persuaded Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang to sleep a little longer, and they were not in a hurry to get up so early, but after Cui Mengyao, who was born in a big family, entered the door, there were more rules, but it was good, there were no rules, there were good and bad, at least, the operation of Liu's mansion was much smoother, and Liu Yuan didn't have to worry about many things.

When Cui Mengyao heard this, she smiled but didn't speak, and Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang were not easy to speak.

Du Sanniang sorted out Liu Yuan's somewhat folded collar while longing: "Liu Yuan, it would be great if you changed this official uniform and changed it to a purple robe." ”

"Purple clothes are expensive, if you can wear a purple robe, at least you have to be a third-grade officer, I have not been in the officialdom for a long time, and now I have been promoted to the fourth grade, and then to the third grade, I am afraid that it is inappropriate, and it is not possible, my father-in-law has been an official for decades, this is the third grade." Liu Yuan said modestly.

Cui Mengyao pinched Liu Yuan a little unhappily, pouted and said, "What's the matter, if you make some contributions, you almost look down on my father?" ”

"How dare you, how dare you" Liu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Without the recommendation of my father-in-law, Liu would not be where I am today, don't look at the difference between the fourth grade and the third grade, in fact, after being promoted to the fourth grade, it is difficult to ascend to the sky, that is, I will make a few great achievements, and I can't catch up with my father-in-law, how dare I underestimate it." ”

"Hmph, you still have a conscience." Seeing Liu Yuan like this, Cui Mengyao smiled and let Liu Yuan go.

Du Sanniang asked a little puzzled: "Liu Yuan, didn't you say that you are rewarded for meritorious deeds?" You have made so many meritorious contributions this time, and you were born and died in Tibet, can you still detract from your military exploits? Doesn't that chill the hearts of the soldiers of the world? ”

These three mothers have fallen into the "official's eye", but this is not surprising, this is related to her experience, in the Fengyue place, she is used to seeing all kinds of life, in her mind, being a big official, it is a very majestic thing, as soon as she heard that Liu Yuan could not be promoted smoothly, even the emperor also slandered.

Liu Yuan explained with a smile: "On the reward of meritorious deeds, that is an important means to motivate the courtiers to serve their hearts and soldiers, a wise emperor will never be stingy with this reward, but the merits are different, and there are hundreds of rewards, can not be all promoted as a criterion, such as rewarding gold and silver, rare treasures, houses, fields, beauties, archways, titles, titles, etc., different from person to person, each is different, and needs to be flexible, for example, someone is not suitable for a certain position, or can not convince the public, or experience, or prestige, or lack of qualifications, etc., so strong that he is placed in an unsuitable position, not only is it not good for him personally, but it is also a kind of damage to the country. ”

"Take me as an example, less than three years into the office, from a white body, has been promoted to the fourth grade, the promotion is fast, no one in the Tang Dynasty is out of the right, and then promoted, I am afraid that it is not suitable, and it will also cause the jealousy of the minister, and I am still inexperienced as an official, not enough to take on the big responsibility, if I am inexperienced, I have done the wrong thing, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Xiaoniang hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, when I was in Yangzhou, I heard that the gentleman said that if the emperor wants some important ministers, he will demote them and exile them first, accumulate experience and then approve, and the senior brother is now very big." ”

"I didn't expect you little girl to know a lot." Cui Mengyao touched the little lady's head, expressed her appreciation, and then turned her head to Liu Yuan and said: "Okay, Liu Yuan, you hurry up and eat, it's not too early, don't be late for a while, make people laugh, how the emperor rewards, it's useless to guess, the court will know." ”

Liu Yuan stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, stood up and said, "I'm almost done, I'll go to the court, it's still early, you go back to sleep." ”

"The concubine will send you to the car first."

So, Liu Daguan sat in a luxurious carriage surrounded by several ladies, and the coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage rushed straight forward.

At this time, the morning drum sounded, the door of the fang was wide open, Liu Yuan went out of the door, went straight to the palace, reported his name at the palace gate, after checking the fish charm, he successfully entered the palace, and when he was in front of the gate of the Taiji Palace, there were already crowds of people here, and the ministers were waiting for the court.

Obviously, Liu Yuan and his entourage returned triumphantly from Tubo, Li Er naturally wanted to reward meritorious deeds, and convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to go to the court, first, to express the importance of meritorious soldiers, and secondly, they could also hype up their own cultural and martial arts, and by the way, they praised Yang Weijun and his entourage, as an example, there are more people, and it is not surprising, as a meritorious minister, the protagonist of today, as soon as the ministers saw Liu Yuan, they naturally congratulated again and again, and took the initiative to get out of the way, so that Liu Yuan was like the stars holding the moon, Liu Yuan did not dare to be proud of his merits, and put down his body, Frequently interacted with the ministers.

Qinghe Cui's family, protégés all over the world, seven clans and five surnames, Megatron the world, as a famous talent of the Tang Dynasty, Qinghe Cui's proud son-in-law, Liu Yuan and civil officials have a very good relationship, two into Tubo, broke the curse theory of Tubo, founded the Yangwei Army, several actions are extremely good, as well as the construction of Changluo Expressway, Liu Yuan and a group of generals are also very eye-to-eye, it can be said that Liu Yuan is the number one "civil and military" person in the Tang Dynasty, and the popularity is good, that is, the father-in-law Cui Jing, he also had to write a "service" word.

"My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law."

"The last general will see the process general"

"The old general should be old and strong, and he admires and admires him."

"Xiao Servant is full of red light, can there be a happy event recently?"

"Hello Dr. Wei"

Seeing the familiar faces, as a junior and a low-ranking official, Liu Yuan naturally wanted to greet them one by one, and everyone was tired of shouting, and everyone responded with a smile.

Cui Jing touched his beard, nodded to Liu Yuan and said, "Yes, this trip to promote the national prestige of my Tang Dynasty, the old lady remembers you, as a junior, you have to take the time to take a look, and do your filial piety." ”

Mrs. Cui is coming to Chang'an again? Good guy, it seems that he is getting more and more diligent, Liu Yuan heard this, and hurriedly promised to come to the door as soon as possible to ask Mrs. Cui for peace, Cui Jing nodded with satisfaction, his face was full of red, and everyone present felt his joy.

This is a matter of course, he only has one daughter, and his son-in-law is half a son, Liu Yuan is so competitive, and his face is also bright.

Before he could say a few words to Cui Jing, the old demon king Cheng pulled Liu Yuan into the pile of generals, laughing and laughing one by one, touching his head and patting his shoulder, one praised Liu Yuan for doing a good job, gave the generals of the Tang Dynasty a long face, and greatly frustrated the prestige of the Tubo people, etc., these old guys, all of them are powerful, this one is a shot, that one punches, Liu Yuan had to take it with a wry smile.

Just when everyone was waiting for the court and discussing in a whisper, a eunuch came out and motioned for everyone to stop, and then said: "By the emperor's order, today's court meeting will be delayed for half an hour, and the emperor invites Lord Changsun and General Liu to the imperial study for a small discussion. ”

Postponement of the DPRK?

This is rare, unless the emperor is in poor health or the weather is too bad, sometimes it will be delayed or rescheduled, which can be regarded as humane and sympathetic to the minister, and now it is about to go to court, and it is rare to suddenly say that it will be postponed.

Liu Yuan knew that he had not yet told Li Er about the important news he mentioned in the letter, and he naturally had to sort it out in terms of meritorious deeds, but Liu Yuan preferred to think that this was before the dynasty, and Li Er bargained with him. (To be continued......)
